The processor 212 may read necessary commands from the memory 211 loaded with commands related to controlling the electronic device 110 . In this case, the read command may include a command for controlling the processor 212 to execute the content providing method according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4 , in step S410, the chat room management unit 310 may manage messages included in the chat room of the messenger installed in the electronic device 110. In other words, the chat room management unit 310 may manage messages transmitted and received through each chat room of the messenger in association with the corresponding chat room.

In particular, the chat room management unit 310 may manage messages included in the chat room that have not been read and processed because the user of the electronic device 110 did not read them, that is, unread messages. For example, the chat room manager 310 may count and manage the number of unread messages in each chat room for each chat room. As another example, the chat room management unit 310 may count and manage the number of unread messages in each chat room as well as the execution time of the last read mode of the corresponding chat room (hereinafter, abbreviated as 'recent access time').

In step S420, the content requesting unit 320 determines whether the chat room satisfies the system message exposure conditions at the time when the user of the electronic device 110 requests access to the specific chat room containing the unread message. You can request advertisements related to When the user of the electronic device 110 enters a chat room containing an unread message, a system message based on the unread message is displayed on the screen of the corresponding chat room. It is determined whether the chat room satisfies the system message exposure condition, and when the system message exposure condition is met, an advertisement request may be transmitted to the server 150 together with chat room information (for example, a chat room ID) capable of identifying the corresponding chat room.

The system message may refer to a message output by the system itself based on a command provided by a messenger installed in the computer system. In this case, the system message according to the unread message is a type of message displayed on the screen of the chat room and may be an unread message mark indicating that there is an unread message.

For example, referring to FIG. 5 , the content requesting unit 320 may receive a user request for entering a chat room from the electronic device 110 with respect to a chat room including an unread message (S501). According to the chat room entry request, the content requesting unit 320 may determine whether the chat room to which the user wants to enter satisfies the system message display condition (S502). The content requesting unit 320 may request an advertisement to be displayed together with the system message to the server 150 when the chat room to which the user wants to enter meets the system message display condition (S503).

A system message may be exposed before the first received message among unread messages if it meets the exposure condition based on unread messages. The number of unread messages may be used as the system message exposure condition, and the processor 212 displays a system message on the screen of the corresponding chat room upon entering the chat room if the number of unread messages in the chat room exceeds a predetermined number (eg, 9). can be exposed. As a system message exposure condition, the latest access time of the chat room together with the number of unread messages can be additionally used. The processor 212 may expose a system message prior to an unread message when the chat room's latest access time passes a predetermined predetermined time (eg, 1 day) even if the number of unread messages is less than a certain number for the chat room including the unread message. can If the system message exposure condition is not met, the system message is not exposed even if a chat room containing an unread message is entered.

The content requesting unit 320 may request an advertisement to be displayed together with a corresponding system message for each system message according to an unread message.

Referring back to FIG. 4 , in step S430, the message display unit 330 may display a message included in the corresponding chat room on the screen of the chat room as the screen of the chat room is entered in response to the request for entering the chat room. The message display unit 330 may display the system message prior to the unread message on the screen of the chat room when the chat room meets the system message display condition.

In particular, the message display unit 330 may receive an advertisement related to the corresponding chat room from the server 150 according to a request to enter the chat room, display the advertisement in a group with a system message, and display unread messages sequentially after the system message. there is. Accordingly, the message display unit 330 may display an advertisement as well as a functional benefit of providing an unread message mark when displaying unread messages on the screen of the chat room when a chat room is entered in a state in which unread messages are accumulated.

Referring to FIG. 6 , the message display unit 330 is a central area of the chat room screen 600 when entering the chat room screen 600 in a state in which unread messages are accumulated, for example, a read message that has been read. A system message 610 and an advertisement 620 may be displayed between the most recent message (ie, the last read message) 601 and the first message received among the unread messages (ie, the first unread message) 602. .

The message display unit 330 may process the advertisement 620 as a content message type, which is a separate message type, and display the advertisement 620 to be distinguished from messages of other message types in the chat room.

The advertisement 620 may be inserted as a chat room embedded banner and displayed along with a system message 610 on the chat room screen 600 . The message display unit 330 may display an advertisement 620 in conjunction with the system message 610 when entering the chat room screen 600 to read an unread message.

The advertisement 620 is an advertisement embedded in the chat room, and may be exposed in a scrollable form together with other messages in the chat room, for example.

The advertisement 620 may include an image or video, a link to a related page, and the like as corresponding advertisement content. In addition, the advertisement 620 may include a close button for closing the advertisement 620 in the chat room screen 600, and an option related to the advertisement, for example, advertisements of the advertiser corresponding to the advertisement 620 or A menu for setting options such as blocking advertisements similar to or identical to the advertisement 620 may be included.

Since each user enters the chat room differently, all the advertisements 620 exposed on the chat room screen 600 may be different, and the time and location at which the advertisements 620 are exposed may be different. In other words, the advertisement 620 provided as a chat room embedded type can be personalized for each user, and the exposure time or exposure position can also be personalized.

Referring to FIG. 7 , when the message display unit 330 checks all unread messages and then exits the chat room screen 600 and then re-enters the chat room screen 600, the message display unit 330 displays an advertisement 620 along with a system message 610 according to the existing unread messages on the chat room screen 600. It can be processed invisible from above. When the chat room screen 600 is re-entered, the system message 610 and the advertisement 620 may disappear from the chat room screen 600 .

Depending on the embodiment, when the chat room screen 600 is re-entered, the system message 610 caused by the existing unread message is processed to disappear, while the advertisement 620 is maintained by determining whether or not to maintain the exposure, or the system message 610 ) can be processed to disappear together.

Referring to FIG. 8 , when the message display unit 330 checks all unread messages and then exits the chat room screen 600 and re-enters the chat room screen 600, the system message 610 by the existing unread messages is invisible on the chat room screen 600 and advertisements are displayed. The exposed state of 620 can be maintained.

For example, the message display unit 330 displays a chat room screen when a reaction (eg, click, reply, mention, etc.) to the advertisement 620 is received from the user of the electronic device 110 or at least one chat partner participating in the chat room. When the advertisement 600 re-enters, exposure of the advertisement 620 may be maintained.

As another example, the message display unit 330 determines the exposure duration of the advertisement 620 based on the type or number of reactions to the advertisement 620, and then displays the advertisement 620 for the determined time when the chat room screen 600 is re-entered. exposure can be maintained. Depending on the type of reaction, the duration of exposure of the advertisement 620 may be applied differently, or the exposure of the advertisement 620 may be maintained longer as the number of reactions increases.

9 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a content providing method performed by a server according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The processor 222 may read necessary commands from the memory 221 in which commands related to the control of the server 150 are loaded. In this case, the read command may include a command for controlling the processor 222 to execute the content providing method according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 9 , in step S910, the processor 222 receives an advertisement request for a chat room (hereinafter referred to as a 'specific chat room') to which the user of the electronic device 100 wants to enter from the electronic device 100. can do. The advertisement request may include user information for identifying the user of the electronic device 100 (eg, user ID), chat room information for identifying a specific chat room (eg, chat room ID), and the like.

In step S920, the processor 222 may select advertisements that meet targeting conditions from among advertisements registered on a database included in the internal configuration of the server 150 or a database that can be linked with the server 150.

For example, the processor 222 may select an advertisement based on attribute information (name, category, hashtag, etc.) of a specific chat room associated with the advertisement request received in step S910. The processor 222 may select an advertisement corresponding to an advertisement request through category-based targeting or hashtag-based targeting. The processor 222 may obtain a category to which a specific chat room belongs or a hashtag set for the specific chat room based on the chat room information included in the advertisement request, and may select an advertisement targeted to the category information or the hashtag.

As another example, the processor 222 may select an advertisement corresponding to an advertisement request through user profile-based targeting. The processor 222 may check a user profile (ie, user demo information) based on user information included in the advertisement request and select an advertisement targeted to the profile. Furthermore, the processor 222 may select an advertisement corresponding to an advertisement request with more sophisticated targeting by combining category-based targeting or hashtag-based targeting with user profile-based targeting.

As another example, the processor 222 may also analyze at least some conversation contents (eg, a certain period or a certain number of messages) included in a specific chat room and use the result of the analysis of the conversation for advertisement targeting. Furthermore, the processor 222 may select an advertisement corresponding to an advertisement request with more sophisticated targeting by combining a conversation analysis result with category-based targeting or hashtag-based targeting.

The targeting logic described above is only illustrative and not limited thereto, and at least one targeting condition may be applied and a known advertisement targeting technique may be utilized.

In step S930, the processor 222 may provide the advertisement selected in step S920 to the electronic device 110 as an advertisement corresponding to the advertisement request in response to the advertisement request of the electronic device 110. When the user wants to enter a specific chat room containing unread messages, the electronic device 110 may retrieve an advertisement related to the corresponding chat room from the server 150 at that time, and display a system message by the unread message on the screen of the chat room. Advertisements provided by the server 150 may be displayed in a UI form configured as one set.

It has been described that the process of checking unread messages and determining the advertisement exposure time based on the unread messages is executed on the client side, and the process of selecting and providing advertisements is executed on the server 150 side, but is not limited thereto. . For example, it is also possible to implement a process in which the server 150 executes a process of checking unread messages for each chat room of a messenger installed in the electronic device 110 and determining an advertisement exposure time based on the unread messages.

As described above, according to embodiments of the present invention, contents such as advertisements can be inserted and provided in the form of messages in a chat room. UI can be provided.
